Hello, first of all, nice that - contrary to FH3 and Apex - FMS 7 actually recognizes my wheel.
But i have a huge problem with gas/ brakes. They are both recognized as one axis. While one axis works fine for steering input (i actually can set it up quite satisfyingly), the pedals can only be set as either throttle or brake. that leads to the following:
depending on the setting, hitting the gas pedal works as intended, but the brakes won´t work at all… adjusting it gives me the ability to use the brake, but the throttle gradually gives “auto-input” to the same degree, meaning when the brakes react as they should, the throttle is at full all the time… then i reduce the throtlle, it will give less gas without hitting the pedal, but the brakes also react less…
basically, there is no way to have it at a “zero point”, like it should be and as it is with the steering axis. you have a neutral point for no input and then gradual input in either direction…
one problem might be, that you can set the steering to either one axis or seperate input in the options, but there is no such option for the acceleration/ brakes. the “handle as one axis” options combine both steering and throttle/ brake axis which might be the main issue here…
the (not so funny) thing is, that in EVERY OTHER racing/ driving game (from the old GTR and similar game to Truck Simulators, Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom and Project Cars and what ever comes to mind) i am able to set it up without issues, they even recognize the pedal directions as independend, meaning i can assign them seperately to acceleration and brake axis… Only with Forza games i simply can´t get it to work, as mentioned, probably because there is no seperate option for gas/ brake when you set the steering to one axis… FH3 doesn´t even take ANY input at all, no buttons, nothing…
is there any way to make it happen, anybody an idea if there is a sweet spot or will it always be proportional less gas, no brakes and vice versa?
I will not be able to buy FMS7 + a new wheel, that´s just out of scope, plus i don´t see why i should buy a new wheel just for the single one game that won´t recognize it properly… , the wheel, while rather cheap and w/o ffb, works 100X better than my x360 controller, if it would be possible to properly set it up in Forza…
edit: the name of the wheel: Speedlink Carbon GT
